It's unclear what happened to cause the accident, but CHP said it involved 7 vehicles - one pick up truck, one car, one SUV and four big-rig trucks.

Two people were killed Thursday morning in a fiery accident on Interstate 5 involving several big rigs and cars, a California Highway Patrol official confirmed.

The accident happened around 7:30 a.m. in the northbound lanes of I-5 in Lodi near the Highway 12 ramp. It's unclear what happened to cause the accident, but CHP said it involved 7 vehicles - one pick up truck, one car, one SUV and four big-rig trucks — at least one of which caught fire.
